INTRODUCTION. 

The idea, still prevalent among many people, 
that only the favored few can enjoy the pleasure 
and edification of European travel, is quite a mis- 
taken one. Not many years ago a trip abroad 
was a supreme luxury. To the average man or 
woman the hope of seeing Venice was little more 
than a fanciful dream. We spoke of the " Eternal 
City" without the idea that we might some day 
look upon it from the Summit of the Janiculum 
Hill. We knew of Paris as the Capital of the 
Cosmopolitan World, but a stroll on the boule- 
vards was not within our reach, as it is to-day. For 
the eager demand which has developed among all 
classes of our citizens for a chance to visit the 
"Old World" has resulted in the achievement of 
conditions that now allow any one to plan for a 
journey to Europe as easily as for a trip to Cali- 
fornia or a season at a seaside or mountain re- 
sort, and with possibilities of economies in ex- 
pense which will bring the cost within the limits 
of a very modest income. 

The American people are exceptionally able 
to absorb and appreciate what they find in foreign 
lands, and it is impossible to overestimate the 
benefits which accrue to them and to our country 
from the familiar association with European

INTRODUCTION 

scenes and life gained by travel. It is from these 
sources that we are reaping a bountiful harvest 
of good results in all lines of progress and refine- 
ment. Our business men bring back practical 
ideas and open new markets for our industries. 
Teachers find new inspiration in becoming familiar 
with scenes that were merely visionary until they 
wandered through them. Artists not only bring 
back upon their canvases their expression of the 
lands and life which have impressed them, but 
are awakened to higher ideals by the atmosphere 
of the glorious galleries in all the principal Euro- 
pean cities. Our scientists are stimulated by 
observing the wonderful work which is being 
done in all the great universities, and gain broader 
visions from the comparison of our conditions 
with those of other environments. Social condi- 
tions may be improved by the study of what older 
countries have accomplished, and our business 
institutions may benefit from some infusion of 
the conservatism which is an essential feature of 
European methods. And it must be remembered 
that all these forces operate to a greater or less ex- 
tent upon the ordinary individual who seeks and 
finds self -development by European travel. With 
intelligent observation he returns mentally broad- 
ened and deepened, quickened for new effort and 
achievement, and with a store of rich memories

INTRODUCTION 

from which he will draw an unfailing dividend 
of pleasure to the end of life. 

When it is suggested that Americans take too 
much money out of the country each year to leave 
in Europe, it is well to remember what equivalent 
it returns to us. We need just what the money 
buys, — a knowledge of other people and other 
methods, a broadening of thought, the experience 
of seeing how the world moves and what keeps it 
progressing, and, best of all, a realizing sense of 
how great our own new country is in its lofty ideas 
of right and justice, its zeal in good works, and 
its rare prosperity for the masses. 

Our system of education encourages a taste for 
reading which develops individual culture, so 
that a constant preparation for travel — the real 
school of culture — is going on. It is well, there- 
fore, that every aid should be given to all who may 
contemplate a trip abroad, and that it may be seen 
hoiv easily such a journey can be managed with 
a little care. It is my aim in this book to give 
some practical and useful hints in regard to foreign 
travel, — hints that I hope may be really useful, 
and many of which will aim to supply necessary 
information not found in any of the many guide- 
books which compete for the prospective traveller's 
attention. 

In essaying to give helpful information, I have 



INTRODUCTION 

found it necessary to specify with approval certain 
transportation companies, foreign agencies, hotels, 
and other business institutions. These have been 
selected from my personal knowledge of their re- 
liability gained through my long experience in 
European travel, and are recommended solely for 
the benefit of the prospective traveller. In no 
case has any such name been inserted for any 
pecuniary consideration either to myself or to 
the publishers of this book.

Chapter I. 
HOW TO TRAVEL. 

To travel well is indeed an art, and yet it is 
one that may be easily mastered. It is only 
necessary to take things as they come, to put one's 
self in touch and sympathy with all people, not 
to expect all the little conveniences of home, to 
appreciate the point of view of those about one, 
and to be cheerful under all circumstances. 

One must cultivate the ability to see quickly, 
to grasp new ideas readily, and to take rapid and 
truthful impressions from what is seen. As good 
health enters largely into the question of enjoy- 
ment in travel, care should be taken to observe 
regular hours for the table, to eat good and sub- 
stantial food, and to pay attention to what one 
drinks. 

Alive to the importance of pure water, all 
European cities utilize the best supply within their 
reach. There is, of course, in rapid travel a con- 
stant change in the drinking water, and this dis- 
agrees with some persons. The light acid wines 
of Europe are excellent, and, if one wishes to use 
only a little wine with the water, the bottle is 
marked with the owner's name and replaced on 
the table at subsequent meals. At all the first- 
class hotels special spring waters are used for 

1 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

the table. Very good mineral waters are always 
to be obtained at hotels, pensions, or restaurants, 
and at all railway stations where there is a cafe or 
dining-room. Care should be taken in regard to 
drinking too freely of ice water, if the weather is 
very hot, but that is a danger well understood in 
our own country. 

Special Preparatory Study. 

However much unconscious preparation for 
travel may have been gained by general reading, 
there should be some special study related to 
the itinerary decided upon. A carefully selected 
list of helpful books is given on page 150, and the 
most satisfactory manner in which to take up 
the special study desired will be by first care- 
fully selecting the route of the journey and look- 
ing up the points of interest which most appeal 
to one in each place to be visited. Under the 
headings of the various cities and towns specified 
in this volume (pp. 130 to 146) will be found tab- 
ulated lists of the points of interest in each place, 
arranged in such order as to be most easily visited 
in the day's travel. 

In this preliminary study a note-book is an 
invaluable aid. In it the name of each place 
to be visited should be written at the top of a 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

page, under which special memoranda regarding 
the place should be jotted down as they occur 
to one or are met with in the reading of news- 
papers, magazines, or books. Do not neglect 
to set down in the proper place any brief quota- 
tion which may help in fixing an idea or in re- 
calling any especially notable person or event. 
Several blank pages should be left after the pre- 
liminary notes on each city, to be filled with notes 
of observations made during the journey, thus 
making the book valuable for after reference. 

What to Take. 

A great deal depends upon the character of 
the journey. In arranging an outfit for the 
voyage and for travel abroad, if one goes by an 
expensive steamship line and uses the highest- 
class hotels, ladies will require an elaborate 
wardrobe, which will include evening gowns. 
Evening dress for gentlemen is so generally the 
custom in all European cities that it is advisable 
for a man to keep it constantly at hand. 

Upon the first-class lines of ships all persons 
dress for dinner, and more attention is being 
paid to this important function of the day upon 
all lines. Good taste will make it easy to de- 
cide when a simple fresh gown for a woman 

3 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

and a plain dark suit for a man will be suffi- 
cient for dinner, both on shipboard and on the 
shore. 

Start upon the journey well provided with all 
the wardrobe required, as it takes valuable time 
in Europe to find what is satisfactory. If one 
wishes a reasonable outfit for three months of 
travel, the following hints may be useful: — 

For the steamer a woman should have, in a 
large-sized dress-suit case, a cloth suit of medium 
weight, a flannel waist, a silk waist, and two 
shirt-waists, three changes of underclothing of 
such weight as one is accustomed to wear in 
the autumn, a pair of woollen tights,, a wool 
sweater, a hot-water bottle, and a cloth or silk 
bag for holding books, magazines, or fancy work 
for the deck. 

In addition to this she should take a travelling- 
rug or heavy shawl, a rain coat, a soft hat of felt 
or wool, a pillow for the deck chair, and a warm 
wrap. A hand-bag should contain bath slippers, 
rubbers, sewing-bag, and toilet articles, includ- 
ing small bottles of camphor and simple cologne, 
which are sometimes very refreshing. 

For the steamer a man should have in a large 
bag a suit that would be comfortable in the au- 
tumn, a heavy overcoat, cloth cap, rug, pillow 
for deck chair, and two sets of warm under- 

4 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

clothes. In a hand-bag he may carry slippers, 
toilet articles, including a bottle of camphor. 

In specifying these articles, I have endeavored 
to suggest everything needed for reasonable com- 
fort during an ocean trip of from seven to fifteen 
days. Each individual can easily decide whether 
to eliminate or add to any of the items. 

For travel after reaching Europe a woman 
should have a medium-sized steamer trunk, to 
hold one street suit in addition to the one worn 
when leaving the ship, one extra skirt, five shirt- 
waists, two silk waists, two pretty gowns for din- 
ner and evening wear, four changes of linen, 
evening shoes, extra walking shoes, a pair of boots, 
a bath robe, a box fastened in one corner of the 
trunk for an extra hat, in which may also be 
placed laces, gloves, handkerchiefs, and neck- 
wear. 

For land travel for gentlemen a small steamer 
trunk should hold an extra suit for the street, 
a plain black cutaway or frock coat, with vest and 
trousers, a dress suit, three sets of underclothing, 
three sets of pajamas, and a bath robe, together 
with socks, collars, cuffs, and shirts, as desired. 

There is no difficulty about laundry in Europe, 
and, while it is done in some countries better than 
in others, little time is required anywhere, and 
the cost is about as it is here. 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

If one wishes to make an inexpensive trip, 
instead of using the steamer trunk for travel on 
shore, so plan that a light-weight dress-suit case 
may hold enough for the journey, thus reducing 
all expense for the transportation of baggage by 
railway. 

When a steamer trunk is used in travel, it is 
perfectly convenient to have it always with one, 
but, in the event of making a little side-trip for 
one or two days, the hand-bag for the toilet arti- 
cles will also hold night clothing. 

Do not use any labels or tags for the baggage 
that will send it to the ship's hold unless there 
are very large trunks. Such labels are either 
marked "Hold" or "Not Wanted." On trunks 
stowed in the hold there is apt to be delay at 
the port of landing, and one is unable to get at 
the contents during the voyage. If the baggage 
is marked " State-room " or "Wanted," it will be 
placed in the state-room, provided it is not too 
large to slide under the lower berth. If too 
large for the state-room, it will be put in a baggage- 
room, where it can at any time be opened. 

Storage and Transfer of Steamer Baggage. 

The baggage with the outfit for the steamer 
may be stored with the company of the line 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

of ships by which one sails. It also can be 
forwarded to another port and held for the 
return. 

If one is to return by the same line from the 
same port, the keys need not be left with it; but, 
if this baggage is to be forwarded to another 
country, the keys must be tagged with the name, 
date, steamship, and port, exactly in duplicate 
of the tag on the baggage, and left with the purser 
of the ship. 

When it is decided on what ship one will return, 
notice must be sent to the company having the 
baggage in charge, telling them to forward it 
with the keys. Always state that keys were left 
and tagged like the baggage, as this will aid the 
company in finding both. 

State plainly the ship, line, port, and date of 
sailing for which baggage is required, and write 
to said company to send notification of its arri- 
val, so that it may be looked up if there is un- 
necessary delay. 

If one is to return by the same line, send notice 
three weeks in advance to have it put on board 
the desired ship, and ask for a postal reply ac- 
knowledging the receipt of the order. It is best 
to follow this up by another "reminder," in the 
shape of a postal, a few days before the sailing 
date. The purser on either ship line will have 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

the account of expenses, and settlement may be 
made with him. 

Sea-sickness. 

It is difficult to lay down rules in regard to this 
disagreeable affliction. Some persons suffer from 
it in spite of every precaution, and others who 
violate all laws relative to it go entirely free. 
There can be no doubt that much of it is brought 
on by anticipation and by getting the stomach 
out of order when trying to prevent it. 

For a few days before sailing, one should avoid 
sweets, fats, and soups, eating easily digested 
substantial food. Three days in advance of 
sailing some simple laxative should be taken to 
cleanse the bowels and stimulate the liver. 

Some persons find it refreshing to have a little 
fruit brought by the stewardess to eat before 
trying to dress in the morning. 

The main thing is to get on deck as quickly 
as possible, not attempting an elaborate toilet, 
and to remain in the steamer chair till all feeling 
of dizziness passes off. The deck steward will 
serve from the menu whatever seems to tempt the 
appetite, and only the most simple food should 
be selected. 

If really ill, take bits of ice (over which a little 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

brandy may be poured), oranges, apples, grapes, 
or delicate biscuits. Keep on deck, allow the wind 
to blow freely on the face, keep warm (using the 
hot-water bottle, if necessary), and the attack 
should soon pass away. 

As soon as possible, begin to walk about the 
deck (to get your sea legs on, as old sailors 
say), for this not only accustoms one to the mo- 
tion of the ship, but causes the blood to circulate 
freely again. 

Money. 

American money may be used on all ships for 
fees, care being taken to have a good supply of 
small change. Small sums of American money 
may be changed on shipboard by the purser, 
but it is a good idea to have before sailing $10 
in change of the money used in the country where 
one is to land. Money-changers and large banks 
can supply this, but, if one is unable to attend 
to it before sailing, he may rely upon the purser 
of the ship. 

Those who are to buy railway tickets upon 
arrival at a port, and so require a large sum of 
money, should take some English bank-notes of 
£5 each ($25) or some English gold. Get this 
money through a banker or Money Exchange 
Office. 

9 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

If a considerable sum of money is to be used on 
the journey, take a Letter of Credit, through 
either the American Express Company or some 
prominent bank that has wide connections with 
bankers abroad. Messrs. Brown, Shipley & 
Company and Messrs. Baring Brothers are two 
London banking houses, with correspondents all 
over Europe, who do a very large business in this 
line. 

It is a great inconvenience to have a Letter of 
Credit that calls for the drawing of money through 
bankers not well known in the cities of Europe. 
Much delay is often caused the traveller through 
the inexperience of such banking houses with 
the business methods they call for. 

The Letter of Credit gives one the advantage 
of having money in absolutely safe form. More 
than one person may draw upon a letter of credit 
if so arranged at the time of purchase. Two 
duplicate signatures are demanded, one to re- 
main with the home banking house and the other 
to be sent abroad to the chief bankers through 
whom business will be done. 

A full list of bankers in Europe where money 
may be drawn is appended to the letter form, 
with a blank page where the sums drawn, the 
dates, and the names of the several bankers trans- 
acting the business are carefully filled in. The 

10 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Letter of Credit is usually given in pounds ster- 
ling. 

A Letter of Credit is not issued for less than 
£100 ($500), and a charge of 1 per cent, is made 
at the time of purchase. Business men who have 
deposits with banks in close connection with 
foreign bankers may take a Letter of Credit on a 
Letter of Credit account, which account they open 
by setting aside such a sum from their deposits 
as will cover the drafts they may wish to draw, 
and in this event they only pay a commission on 
the actual drafts, thus saving the charge on any 
balance left undrawn in the Letter of Credit 
account. 

Upon the return home the Letter of Credit 
is presented to the firm that issued it, and any sum 
still due is refunded. On very large Letters of 
Credit, fully paid, running for some months, in- 
terest will be allowed by the bankers in the 
United States who receive the deposit. 

In addition to the Letter of Credit it is well to 
take a few American Express Cheques for $10 
and $20, as they may be very convenient upon 
occasions when banking houses are closed on 
holidays. 

If less than $500 will be needed abroad, take all 
money in the form of American Express Cheques 
for $10 and $20. They are convenient and safe, 

11 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

and may be cashed in hotels, pensions, money 
exchanges, banking houses, and many shops. 
They indicate on the face the sums for which 
they are good in each country. It must be noted, 
however, that there is sometimes a revenue stamp 
demanded that reduces by a few cents the sum 
stated as due on the cheque. 

American bills and gold are easily exchanged at 
banks and money exchanges and at the regular 
rates of exchange for the day they are presented, 
but, if they are lost, there is nothing to be done, 
while the American Express Company will re- 
issue cheques upon proof that they are lost. A 
very careful system of numbering and keeping 
records of every cheque, and a strict watch for 
forgery, allows the company to fully protect its 
patrons. 

When the cheques are purchased, the signature 
is written in the upper left-hand space, and each 
cheque has to be so signed in presence of a com- 
pany or agent. Nothing more is done to them 
till they are cashed, when the date, and the name 
of person, firm, or hotel to whom they are pay- 
able, are filled in, and then in the left-hand 
lower space the name is again signed, and it 
must exactly correspond with the upper signa- 
ture. Unused cheques may be redeemed upon 
the return home. 

12 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Thomas Cook & Son issue circular notes for 
£5, £10, and £20 each ($25, $50, and $100), and 
the charge is at the rate of 50 cents for $100. It 
is necessary to have with these a Letter of Iden- 
tification, so that, when cashing them, the sig- 
nature may be compared. Notes unused will be 
redeemed, upon the return home, at any office of 
the company. 

Mail. 

If one is not certain as to the hotel or pension 
addresses for the European journey, the bankers 
through whom Letters of Credit are taken will 
receive and forward (upon request) all mail and 
telegrams. 

The American Express Company through all 
their offices will also accommodate their patrons 
in this respect, and so will the house of Thomas 
Cook & Son. 

If one wishes a letter sent directly to a town 
or city, so that it may be obtained at the post- 
office, write plainly the name, town or city, and 
country, and in the left lower corner Poste 
Restante. In calling at the post-office, present 
a visiting card (or the name plainly written) at 
the necessary window, and there will be no diffi- 
culty in obtaining the mail. 

13 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Passports. 

Passports are not necessary except in the East 
and in Russia, but, if persons are abroad on their 
own responsibility, it is well to have one. Apply 
to the Passport Bureau, Washington, D.C., 
for a blank form, which will be at once forwarded. 
Fill this in and sign before a notary public, en- 
close $1, and return to Washington. The pass- 
port will be sent promptly. Only one passport 
is necessary for a man and his wife. Passports 
for Russia must have the visa of the diplomatic 
or consular office of Russia as well as that of 
one's own country.

Chapter II. 
STEAMSHIP LINES AND THE VOYAGE. 

Engage berths as soon as possible after the 
journey is settled upon, as the demand for ac- 
commodations constantly increases, and early 
application is particularly important for berths 
in the late spring and early summer sailings. 
If possible, engage berths for return passage at 
the same time, especially if they are required 
for the last of August or the early weeks of Sep- 
tember. Most steamship companies allow a 
discount of 10 per cent, from the price of the 
return trip, if passage on the same line is en- 
gaged at the same time with the outward 
passage. 

A good traveller will not place too much im- 
portance upon the situation of a state-room, as 
they are all arranged for the comfort of passengers, 
and one spends little time there. A detailed 
plan of a ship, with full price list of state-rooms, 
will be mailed by any company upon request, 
and prompt attention will be paid to letters of 
inquiry. 

A deposit of $25 holds the berth until three 
weeks before the date of sailing, when the bal- 
ance of the passage money must be paid. At 
the time of purchasing the ticket engage a steamer 

16 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

chair for the voyage, the use of which costs $1, 
payable in advance. 

A receipt is issued for the deposit of $25 ; and, 
when the rest of the passage money is paid, 
this receipt must be sent with the remittance. 
The ticket is then issued; and, if a round trip is 
purchased, either the return ticket is sent or an 
order for a return passage, if one has been un- 
able to decide upon a special ship and date. 
The receipt for the steamer chair, which is issued 
as payment, is to be handed, upon the day of 
sailing, to the deck steward, who will provide 
the chair. 

If one is obliged to give up a reserved passage, 
the deposit of $25 will be returned, upon request, 
up to three weeks before sailing. After this date 
it becomes subject to the rule of the steamship 
companies, that reserved berths must be sold 
again by them before deposits are returned. 

Returning berths may be engaged by deposit- 
ing $25 per berth, for which a receipt is given. 
The order that is issued for a return passage 
calls for a berth at a stated price, and is available 
on any of the more important lines, these being 
indicated upon the face of the order. Upon 
presentation at the office of any of these lines 
a ticket will be issued at the price it commands. 

If one is in Europe when writing for a return 

17 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

berth, address the chief office of the desired line 
in London, Paris, Antwerp, Rotterdam, Bremen, 
Hamburg, Genoa, Naples, or Trieste, as the 
case may be, and say that a return order from 
such and such a line is held, stating the price it 
calls for, and asking if there is the desired ac- 
commodation and for a plan of the ship. 

When informed by letter that a certain berth, 
or room, is available, at once accept it or de- 
cline it. If it is accepted, send the return order 
and register it, with instructions as to what shall 
be done about the ticket. If it is to be forwarded, 
order it registered, and allow plenty of time for 
its transmission. If it is convenient in connec- 
tion with the journey, it is best to have the com- 
pany hold the ticket at the office till called for 
personally.

Notes on Return Sailings. 

Cunard Line: Steamships in the Mediterranean services 

stop at Fiume, Palermo, Naples, and Gibraltar upon the 

return trip. 
Hamburg- American Line: Steamships from Hamburg stop 

at Southampton and Cherbourg, also at Boulogne and 

Plymouth, according to announced sailings. 
North German Lloyd Line: Steamships from Bremen 

stop at Southampton and Cherbourg. 
Red Star Line: Steamships from Antwerp stop at Dover 

during the spring and summer. 
White Star Line: As by printed schedule, steamships stop 

at the Azores and at Algiers. 



For Egypt. 

Certain steamships of the Mediterranean Lines connect at 
Naples with steamers for Egypt. These dates will be sent 
upon application. 

25 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Second-class Berths. 

The low rates on some lines indicate that cer- 
tain ships carry only one class of passengers, — 
second-class. These passengers, however, have 
all the advantages of first-class. 

Time and expense may be saved by using 
second-class berths on the large and fast steam- 
ships. Prices will be sent upon application to 
any line. The accommodations supplied by these 
steamers are in every way comfortable. The 
rooms are clean and well ventilated. The sec- 
ond-class table is good, — far better than is to be 
found in most summer hotels. 



Baggage. 

When steamship tickets are issued, a full set 
of labels and tags are furnished the passenger 
for baggage. 

As already suggested, do not use those that 
say "Not Wanted," as baggage thus marked 
will go to the hold. Fill in the name and re- 
quired data on the labels, and paste them on 
trunks and suit-cases. Write plainly on the tags, 
according to directions, and tie these to each end 
of the trunks, to the suit-cases, and to the hold- 
alls. 

26 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Some companies send a label with one large 
letter which is the initial of the name of the pas- 
senger, and this is to be pasted on the baggage 
to aid in finding it at the port where customs 
examinations take place. If this is not given 
with other tags, it means that such are not used 
on that particular line or that the state-room 
stewards will put them on the baggage before 
landing. 

Careful record is kept of all baggage received 
on the dock, sent by express ; and near the gang- 
way will be found the baggage-master, who will 
answer any questions relative to trunks and other 
pieces of baggage. 

If baggage has been sent by express, care should 
be taken to have it arrive the afternoon before 
the ship sails; and the baggage-master should 
be asked by telephone, late that afternoon, if he 
has received it. Before going on board, ask if 
it has been put on the ship. 

If the baggage goes with one to the ship, by 
carriage, stewards at once take it on board. 
Oftentimes this baggage will not be put in the 
state-room until after the ship has sailed, but 
there need be no anxiety in regard to it, if it is 
on board. 



27 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Shipboard Notes. 

If friends are to go to the steamer to see one 
sail, care should be taken to arrange for some 
special point of rendezvous, as in the confusion 
of a crowd it is difficult to find individuals. The 
number of the state-room should also be given 
to friends. 

Arrange to be on board two hours before the 
ship sails, so that details for the voyage may be 
attended to and time allowed to bid adieu to 
friends. 

Do not try to settle things in the state-room 
before sailing, but ring the bell for the steward, 
and decide upon the hour for the bath, and if it 
is to be hot or cold. 

Next go to the dining saloon, and arrange for a 
seat or seats at table. The second steward is 
usually in charge of this. One may consult a 
plan of the tables and see personally if a seat will 
be pleasant, and then, having decided, a small 
card with the table number will be given one. 
At the first meal it is not usual to use these seats, 
passengers sitting wherever they wish. If it is 
a first voyage, it would be well to select a seat 
near the door, so that it will be easy to escape — if 
necessary. 

The bath and the table being arranged for, 

28 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

find the deck steward, show him the receipt for 
the steamer chair, and select a place for it that 
seems attractive. Aid his memory in recollect- 
ing the desired spot for the chair by a small fee 
of 25 cents. 

There now only remains the pleasant duty of 
looking for mail, telegrams, and flowers (which 
will be found in the dining saloon) and of re- 
ceiving the "bon voyage" visits of friends. Last 
words for shore or any forgotten message may be 
sent by post through the pilot boat, which usually 
leaves the ship about an hour after sailing from 
either Boston or New York. If one wishes to 
write letters for transmission in this way, it is 
best to inquire of the library steward, to ascertain 
the exact amount of time in hand for this purpose. 

Shortly after the ship sails, go to the state- 
room and unpack the steamer clothes and wraps, 
and arrange the small belongings for comfort 
and with regard to the convenience of the state- 
room companion. If the state-room companion 
is a friend, it is a simple matter to divide the room, 
but, if a stranger, care should be taken to be un- 
selfish and only take what belongs by courtesy 
to one person. The berths, of course, are speci- 
fied upon one's tickets, so that no difficulty can 
arise from this source. Use every effort to be 
agreeable and patient, and to overlook any little 

29 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

personalities that are not pleasant. The voyage 
only lasts a few days, and, with a little care, cheer- 
ful and kindly relations will make the time pass 
quickly. No two persons can hope to escape 
altogether the ordeal of mutual criticism. Spend 
all the time possible on deck, take long walks, 
and enjoy the various games, such as shuffle- 
board, quoits, etc., that give necessary exercise. 
The ship libraries have a good collection of books ; 
and a steward in charge keeps a record of each 
book you take out, and will put any special one 
aside for you upon request. This steward has 
charge of the writing-desks, and will furnish 
paper and envelopes at any time, and he also 
sells pretty postal cards and postage stamps. 

The barber usually has quite an attractive 
store of trinkets for sale, and can often give a 
satisfactory shampoo for women. Boots put 
outside the door at night will be carefully polished. 

Wines, beer, and mineral waters are ordered 
by a card signed with the name, and these ac- 
counts are presented for payment at the end of 
the voyage. 

Shipboard Entertainments. 

On nearly all lines a varied entertainment is 
given by the passengers on an evening near the 

30 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

end of the voyage. The proceeds are divided 
among certain institutions at home and abroad, 
where the widows and orphans of sailors are 
cared for. If one has any gifts or accomplish- 
ments that will add to the success of the enter- 
tainment, they should be cheerfully offered. 
Courtesy will demand that there should be no 
criticism. 

A collection is taken, and programmes that 
are printed on board and that make pleasant 
souvenirs are sold. No fixed sum is charged, 
but 25 cents is the usual price. At the end of the 
performance the sum realized is announced. 

What is called the "Captain's Dinner" is 
given on the German lines near the end of the 
voyage. There is much ceremony, the dining 
saloon is decorated with flags, and the captain 
presides, — if the weather allows him to be pres- 
ent, — and often makes a speech. 

Fees. 

The necessary fees on shipboard are not to 
be absolutely defined. Much depends upon the 
service demanded and upon the class of the ship. 
On the great liners where particularly careful 
service is given, and where high prices are paid 
for berths, the fees are necessarily large. On 

31 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

ordinary ships, with no extra service, the follow- 
ing fees are reasonable: table steward, $2.50; 
state-room steward, $2.50; deck steward, $1; 
stewardess, $1 (unless she has given special care 
to one, when the fee should be increased). Bath 
steward, about 25 cents for each attendance. 
There yet remain the library steward, who also 
has charge of the writing-room, and the deck boy, 
who picks up rugs, pillows, and books, moves 
chairs, and offers other pleasant services. To 
these one ought to give at least 50 cents each. 

Doctor. 

The services of the ship-doctor are given with- 
out fee to passengers who are merely sea-sick. 
If called upon to prescribe for other illness, he 
should receive the usual fee paid on shore for 
such service. 

Hints. 

All fees are paid at the end of the voyage. 

The state-room steward attends to the state- 
room baggage, and will show the passenger where 
it is located upon the dock when landing. 

The deck steward attends entirely to all rugs 
and pillows, and, if they are damp, hangs them 
where they will dry. 

32 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

The library steward has postage stamps and 
picture postal cards for sale. He will take charge 
of letters and arrange for the telegrams. A 
mail box is provided for letters. 

All important notices for passengers are posted 
in the companionway that leads to the dining 
saloon. Here, also, are posted notices of articles 
found, and those that are lost.

Chapter III. 
THE ARRIVAL IN EUROPE. 

At the port where one disembarks, and also 
at every frontier crossed in travel, all baggage is 
examined. 

This examination is not strict for the foreign 
visitor. Officials are always courteous and 
careful, and should be treated with polite def- 
erence. We visit their countries to enjoy the 
benefits of their civilization and to put ourselves 
under their protection. The least we can do is 
to respect the laws which these officers repre- 
sent. 

One general rule applies for all points where 
there will be examinations. Do not have much 
tobacco or many cigars, no full bottles of spirits 
or wine, no full bottles of Florida water or 
cologne, no full packages of tea, no full boxes 
of soap, and in England do not have any Ameri- 
can or foreign editions of copyrighted English 
books or music. 

After landing, pass into the baggage-room on 
the dock, where the customs officers will be found. 
On many of the steamship piers large letters are 
posted on the walls of the examination-room, 
these being the initials of the passengers' names. 
Baggage will usually be found under the proper 

34 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

letter. The stewards, however, will indicate 
to passengers where the baggage has been placed. 

Never offer a fee to a customs official at any 
landing port or at any frontier. 

Porters are at hand to assist travellers. When 
all the baggage has been located, have one of 
these porters get it together, and ask a customs 
officer to examine it. Open your baggage freely. 

The officer marks each piece with chalk, 
which passes it by the official at the door. The 
porter places all your baggage (called luggage) * on 
a truck, and follows your directions as to where 
it shall go, — to carriage, omnibus, or train. Ac- 
company this porter, pay him, and discharge 
him, his duty ended. 

The correct fee for a porter is threepence (6 
cents) for each piece of baggage, the same 
relative sum in each country for the same service. 

The traveller may always feel safe in leaving 
baggage in care of a regular uniformed porter 
at either steamship wharves or railway stations, 
but a note should always be made of the porter's 
official number, which will be plainly displayed 
upon his cap. The companies are all very strict in 

* It is very advisable to learn at the outset of travelling to 
call things by the names commonly used in the country. Thus 
in England "baggage" is called "luggage," a railway ticket 
office is called a "booking office," an elevator is a "lift," 
etc. 

35 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

insisting upon efficiency and honesty among their 
employees. One should always avoid, so far as 
possible, employing any of the non-official port- 
ers, of whom there are usually a number avail- 
able; and, if it becomes necessary to use one of 
these in transporting baggage, he should be 
kept under close watch during the service. 

Railway Aids and Cook's Men. 

Men representing railway lines, and always 
in uniform, are at the dock and in the customs- 
room, to offer any information or aid to the 
traveller. Cook's men are also there, and these 
last are to be found at railway stations in all 
large cities. 

These representatives of the railroads and 
Cook Tourist Company speak English, and offer 
careful and intelligent service on application, 
for which they should receive a tip of not less than 
25 cents, or its equivalent. 

The railway representatives will give full in- 
formation about trains and routes and attend 
to baggage. 

Baggage Transportation. 

Passengers landing in England may forward 
their baggage to destination in London by paying 

36 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

(yd. (12 cents) for each piece. This baggage 
must be carefully addressed, with name, hotel, 
or residence. 

A label is tied or pasted on each piece, and 
half of each label is given to the passenger, by 
which he claims his baggage at the termination of 
the journey. 

Where the London address has not been de- 
cided upon in advance, baggage may be sent to 
the "cloak-room" of any station. A charge for 
this service of twopence (4 cents) a day is made 
for two days: for a longer time, threepence (6 
cents) a day is charged. 

For baggage within the limit outlined in the 
schedule on page 39 there will be no charge for 
weight in Great Britain. The railroad ticket 
includes its transportation. 

If the baggage goes along by the same train 
with the passenger to London, immediately upon 
arrival call a porter, go where the baggage is 
deposited upon the railway platform, find your 
property, and have the porter take it to a cab. 
Porter's tip should be threepence (6 cents) for 
each large piece and twopence (4 cents) for each 
small piece. 

In leaving London or any railway station in 
Great Britain, a porter will take baggage from 
the carriage or omnibus upon arrival. It is 

37 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

then weighed, and, as the coupon check system 
only applies to boat trains in Great Britain, the 
luggage is labelled for the destination desired 
by pasting upon it a printed slip bearing the name 
of the place, after which it is placed in a baggage 
car. 

A passenger must always have a certain over- 
sight of his baggage in England, as it is handled 
by the label system , and not the check system. On 
the Continent, where it is registered, the registra- 
tion is practically a check. 

Registered Baggage. 

When leaving England for the Continent and 
at all Continental railway stations, tickets must 
be shown when registering baggage. Porters 
take baggage from carriage or omnibus, and 
deposit it at the proper section. Other porters 
within the section weigh it, and report the result 
to an official in charge, to whom the tickets should 
be handed through a small window. The porters 
also give a number to the official; and, after 
figuring the sum due on a small detailed slip, 
he adds this special number to the slip, with the 
number of pieces, the weight, and the amount 
paid. 

This is the registration receipt, and corresponds 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

with our check system. The number on the re- 
ceipt corresponds to the number that is pasted 
by the porters on each piece of baggage. When 
presenting the receipt at the end of the journey, 
the baggage is identified by the number. 

Give the porters a fee that will be the value 
of 10 cents in American money for each piece of 
registered baggage. All money paid station 
porters is collected by one of their number, and 
divided equally. 

Baggage Notes. 
THE BRITISH ISLES. 

In England, Ireland, and Scotland a first-class 
railway ticket allows 120 pounds of baggage 
free; a second-class ticket, 100 pounds free. 
It is impossible to give exact notes for over- 
weight, as the charges are made on a system of 
distances and on the basis of hundred-weight. 

THE CONTINENTAL WEIGHTS AND DISTANCES. 

On the Continent all weights are reckoned in 
kilograms, all distances in kilometers. 

1 kilogram equals 2^- (2.20462) pounds. 

1 kilometer is equal to f (0.62137) of a mile. 

Each country has its own system in dealing 
with baggage. 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 
HOLLAND. 

In Holland no free baggage is allowed, but 
between Holland and most other countries 25 
kilograms (55 pounds) are carried free. 

The rates for baggage in Holland are as fol- 
lows : — 

For a distance of 20 kilometers (12.43 miles), 5 cents (2 cents 

U.S.) for every 10 kilograms (22 lbs.). 
For a distance of 50 kilometers (31.07 miles), 10 cents (4 cents 

U.S.) for every 10 kilograms (22 lbs.). 
For a distance of 200 kilometers (124J miles), 25 cents (10 

cents U.S.) for every 10 kilograms (22 lbs.) . 

BELGIUM. 

In Belgium there is no free allowance of bag- 
gage: rate of charge, lj centimes (J cent) per 
kilometer (0.62137 miles) for every 25 kilograms 
(55 pounds). 

FRANCE. 

In France 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of bag- 
gage are allowed free. The rate for excess 
baggage varies, so that it is impossible to quote 
it here. 

SWITZERLAND. 

In Switzerland there is no free baggage; but, 
owing to the rate changing according to the class 
of trains, it is not practical to give it. 

40 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

ITALY. 

The charge for baggage in Italy is about 4j 
centesimi for 100 kilograms per kilometer, 
with a small tax for registration. For example, 
it would cost L. 9.30 ($1.86) for 100 kilos of bag- 
gage (220 pounds) carried 200 kilometers (124 
miles). 

AUSTRIA-HUNGARY . 

In Austria-Hungary the allowance of free bag- 
gage varies from 20 pounds to 50 pounds. 

GERMANY. 

In Southern Germany there is no free baggage : 
from 10 kilograms (22 pounds) to 25 kilograms 
(55 pounds) of baggage are allowed free in other 
parts of Germany. 

SPAIN. 

In Spain 30 kilograms (66 pounds) of baggage 
are allowed free. 



The Question of Fees. 

Many Americans object to the custom of fees 
and tips in European travel. This is one of the 
things to which we must adapt ourselves. If it 

41 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

is faced fairly and counted as part of the cost 
of the journey, its unpleasant features will be 
lessened. 

We are not free from the habit of tipping in our 
own country, and we overdo it here. Our ser- 
vants are generously paid, while abroad their 
wages are so small that they are obliged to de- 
pend upon what they get in this way. 

In hotels and pensions a good rule by which 
to regulate tips and fees is to set aside a sum 
equal to 10 per cent, of the bill, and divide this 
among the servants, adding something extra 
for the concierge (in England the hall porter) 
at hotels. 

The concierge is the man who answers every 
question that may be asked; who is always at 
hand to help with valuable advice as to sight- 
seeing, shops, or drives; who looks after letters, 
sends telegrams, and gives valuable service of 
every sort. 

His office is at the entrance of the hotel, and it 
is a pleasure to show him, by a tip, that his efforts 
have been appreciated. 

The servants to be remembered are the waiters, 
chambermaids, porters, elevator boys, and the 
"boots" (the man who polishes the shoes). 

At pensions the fees are much less than at 
hotels. The servants are fewer, and the ser- 

42 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

vice is more direct and limited. The same rule, 
to distribute 10 per cent, of the amount of the 
bill, may be followed here. 

The Route. 

In arranging a route for European travel, have 
it practical. Do not retrace any steps, and see 
that the ground is well covered. 

The distances between desirable points in our 
country are so great we forget how short they 
are in Europe. We forget, too, that almost every 
spot of ground is notable. This gives an inclina- 
tion to loiter, so that one needs a strict plan for 
travel, otherwise too much time may be consumed 
with small detail. 

Cover all the places possible in a journey, but 
plan for sufficient time to see them properly and 
to get a correct impression of them. Do not fear 
that these impressions and ideas may be a jumble 
when the journey is ended. One of the pleasant 
results of travel is the knowledge one gets of the 
power of the mind in observation and memory. 

How to "plan a Tour. 

To plan a tour, first decide upon a route. 
Next send for desired plans and price lists to any 

43 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

steamship company. Having engaged berths at 
a given price, add to this the cost of the railway 
tickets. Decide about what hotel or pension 
rate to pay. Add $1 a day for sight-seeing and 
the other expenses on the basis I have indicated 
in the "Detailed Cost," page 48. In this way 
a reasonable idea may be obtained of the expenses 
of a trip abroad. 

The cost will be lessened or increased accord- 
ing to the hotels or pensions selected. First-class 
tickets and tickets by the trains de luxe will add 
materially to the cost of travel. 

Expenses. 

With great care the expenses for travel in 
Europe may be kept down to $5 a day, this 
to include railway fare, board, and sight- 
seeing. Increased price means more comfort 
and luxury. 

For $10 a day one may travel first-class by 
boats and trains, stay at the best hotels, and use 
carriages freely for sight-seeing. 

Hotels and Pensions. 

Travellers will find no difficulty in making 
satisfactory arrangements in Great Britain and 

44 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

on the Continent for reasonable accommodations. 
In Ireland the best hotels must be used. In Scot- 
land the prices are high in the best hotels, but 
there are excellent medium-priced hotels and 
what are called "Temperance Houses" that are 
satisfactory. 

In England every possible accommodation is 
available. In London, aside from the hotels and 
excellent boarding-houses, the visitor may "go 
into lodgings" in some central position. Break- 
fast will be given if desired, and other meals may 
be taken wherever convenient in the round of 
sight-seeing and shopping. 

Hotels of high grade will furnish rooms, light, 
attendance, and full board from 12 shillings 
($3) a day up to 20 shillings ($5) a day. 

Excellent hotels may be found where all this 
may be obtained for 8 shillings ($2) a day and 

Good boarding-houses will accommodate visi- 
tors at from 6 shillings ($1.50) up to 10 shillings 
($2.50) a day. 

Lodgings may be found for 28 shillings ($7) a 
week, with breakfasts for 7 shillings ($1.75) 
additional. 

On the Continent prices are lower, and the 
accommodations fully as good. 

The list of hotels and pensions found at the 

45 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

end of the volume offer reasonable rates, good 
rooms, and very satisfactory food, with excellent 
service. 

In writing in advance for hotel accommoda- 
tions, one should state exactly what is required 
(whether full board and rooms, rooms only, or 
rooms with breakfast) , stating the price one wishes 
to pay. Upon arrival, when inspecting rooms, 
have a distinct understanding in regard to the 
price. 

In the long run it is cheaper to engage full 
board rather than to take rooms and get meals 
outside. This does not apply to taking lodgings 
in London. 

Always make a distinct bargain in regard to 
the hotel and pension arrangement. Be certain 
to know if there are to be extra charges, and, if 
so, have them stated. 

Remember that attendance included in a 
bill does not free one from the obligation 
of tipping. 

First and Second Class Transportation. 

It is practical to travel by third-class rail in 
England and Scotland. 

In Ireland the second-class may be used, but 
the third-class will not be satisfactory. 

46 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Anywhere on the Continent second-class cars 
are entirely satisfactory. 

In crossing the channels, the difference between 
first and second class accommodations may be 
paid on the steamer, if desired; and this is a 
slight increase of expense which is well worth in- 
curring, especially if the season indicates crowded 
passage. 

On the Lake boats on the Continent second- 
class accommodations are good. Difference may 
be paid on board between first and second class, 
if desired. 

On the Rhine boats first-class tickets should 
be taken, as well as on the Elbe, the Danube, and 
on the pleasure boats in Holland.

way tariffs the prices here given may not always 
be exact, but the differences will be so slight that 
the cost of any trips can be very closely approxi-

In Ireland. 
Trips from Cork. 

If one lands at Queenstown, the city of Cork is 
only half an hour distant.

EUROPEAN GUIDE 

and other places connected with the life of Saint 
Kevin, familiar to us through the poems of Moore. 

"Serpent-worship" flourished here before 
Saint Kevin founded the Abbey, where Seven 
Churches became a famous seat of learning. 
Saint Kevin's " Kitchen " (Church) is a pictur- 
esque ruin. His bed is in a small cave above the 
lake, visited by many famous literary people who 
have written their names on the walls. Among 
these names is that of Sir Walter Scott. 

Tom Moore tells the fatal story of one who 
tempted the saint, and her tragic fate. The 
Round Tower is one of the best preserved in 
Ireland. It was into Lower Lake that Saint 
Patrick banished the last of the snakes.

Madeleine) to St. Denis. Visit the famous 
Cathedral, with tombs of French kings and queens, 
and return to Paris. 

2. From Paris (at right of Arch of Triumph) 
take train for Rueil. Visit church with tombs 
of Josephine and Hortense; also Malmaison, 
the home of Josephine. Take train again, and go 
on to St. Germain to see the Museum (on site 
of old Palace of St. Germain). Walk on the ter- 
race, and engage carriage for a drive of one 
hour in the splendid Forest. Half a day each is 
sufficient for trips No. 1 and No. 2. 

3. From Paris take boat on the Seine, at the 
Pont Royal, for St. Cloud. At the left of the 
landing walk up the hill to the site of the old 
Palace, and visit gardens and park. Return to 
Paris by tramway along the Seine. 

4. From Paris by train (from St. Lazare sta-

82 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

minutes. Tickets: 1st class, F. 1.50 (30 cents); 
2d class, F. 1.15 (23 cents), each way. 

Trains for Versailles, on left bank of Seine, 
start from station on the Boulevard Mont-Par- 
nasse. 

At station in Versailles take carriage, and drive 
through the Park to the Grand Trianon Palace, 
to the State Carriages, and to the Little Trianon 
Palace. Walk through the Park of the latter 
Palace to the Swiss Village of Louis XVI. and 
Marie Antoinette. Return by carriage to the 
town, have luncheon at some restaurant near the 
Rue de Reservoir. After luncheon walk up the 
hill to the Grand Palace. Devote the afternoon 
to the Palace and gardens. 

Take tramway car at left of Palace on the way 
out. Return to station, and take train for Paris. 

5. From Paris take a trip around the city by 
the "Ceinture," or Belt Line, from St. Lazare 
station. This gives an excellent idea of the 
city. 

From Paris to the Chateau and Park at Vin- 
cennes. Take train from the Vincennes station in 
the Place Bastile; or take tramway car that 
starts from near the Louvre; or take the subway

bleau. Take train at the Lyons station, Boule- 
vard Diderot. This trip may be made in a day 
by taking a train at 8 a.m. ; leaving Fontainebleau

Tickets: 1st class, F. 6.60 ($1.32); 2d class, F. 
4.45 (89 cents), each way. 

Landing at Gibraltar. 

From Gibraltar, by making a stop-over be- 
tween the sailings of ships, very enjoyable trips 
may be made to Morocco and through Spain. 
Landing at Gibraltar is made by a tender, and at 
Tangier and Cadiz by strong boats. One must 
go from Gibraltar to Naples by the same steam- 
ship lines for which the tickets are held. Im- 
mediately upon arrival at Gibraltar go to the 
office of the steamship line, and arrange to sail 
upon the desired date. Thomas Cook & Son, 
Waterport Street, corner Parliament Lane, will 
also attend to this matter of sailing. Tickets 
for all trips in Morocco and Spain should be taken 
from Cook's, where full information will be given 
relative to the details of a journey. Money 
should be exchanged at Cook's, where values 
will be explained. 

A good line of steamers runs between Gibraltar, 

84 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Tangier, and Cadiz, but only first-class tickets 
should be used. 

To reach the Spanish railway lines, take the 
ferry that runs between Gibraltar and Algeciras, 
where is also the Spanish customs examination. 

All trains from Algeciras run to Bobadilla, from 
which point they branch for Malaga, Granada, 
Seville, Cordova, and Madrid. 

Second-class cars are fairly comfortable on 
Spanish railways, but the service in connection 
with first-class cars is enough better to pay for 
the additional cost. Trains are run carefully, 
but slowly. Nearly all long distances are cov- 
ered by night travel, for which there is often 
an extra charge, aside from the cost for the 
sleeping-cars. 

Care must be taken to provide a luncheon for 
the trains, as it is impossible for a stranger to 
get anything satisfactory to eat in the short stops 
made at stations where there are restaurants. 
The hotels understand this matter of luncheons, 
and provide good ones in pretty grass-woven 
baskets. 

The hotels are good in Spain. Of course, 
they are not like those in America, but they 
offer the accommodation that the Spanish con- 
sider desirable, and we go to Spain to see 
Spain. 

85 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Fine electric car service is available for nearly 
all sight-seeing, and every courtesy is shown a 
visitor. 

In Tangier only the best hotels should be 
used. There are no street-cars, no carriages, 
no sidewalks, and no published newspapers. 
One finds here all the conditions of life in the 
Orient. 

In Gibraltar there are only carriages for the 
visitor. During a stop of a few hours a carriage 
should be engaged. A bargain must be made, 
and a tip of Is. (25 cents) should be given the 
driver. A carriage for four persons, for the 
regulation drive (not to include crossing the 
Neutral Ground), can be hired for 10s. ($2.50). 
If the drive is extended across the Neutral Ground, 
pay 4s. ($1) extra. 

Baggage at Gibraltar. 

If one does not wish to take trunks upon a 
little journey in Spain, Thomas Cook & Son will 
store them carefully. By all means plan for light 
baggage in Spain, if merely to save time in look- 
ing after it. On no account allow any baggage 
to go forward with the ship to Naples. Take 
it all ashore at Gibraltar.

EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Landing at Algiers. 

Occasionally, during the winter and early 
spring, the White Star Line makes stops at 
Algiers after leaving Gibraltar. 

If a stop-over can be arranged between sail- 
ings, Algiers will be found most delightful. There 
is the perfection of modern civilization, and the 
picturesque life of the Moorish part of the city, 
with veiled Arabian women, crowds of people 
in odd costumes, and bazaars full of attractive 
wares. 

Some trips of remarkable interest may be made 
from Algiers into country that is like a new 
world to an American. 

In three weeks one can see all of Algiers, and 
go by rail to places on the edge of the Great Des- 
ert where caravans come pouring in with their 
treasures from Sahara; one may drive to an oasis, 
see ruins of the Roman occupation here in 
North Africa; and may visit Tunis with its 
palaces of the Bey, and enjoy a sight of the ruins 
of Carthage. Take only hand-baggage from 
Algiers. 

Trips from Algiers. 

1. Algiers to Constantine and in Constantine, 
2 days; to El Guerrah and on to Biskra, 1 day;

the following ports: — 

Thursday, 3.00 p.m., Bizerta, lv. at 8.30 p.m.

EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Side-trips from Tunis. 

By train to La Morsa ; by carriage to the light- 
house of Sidi-bou-Said ; by carriage to Carthage. 
Take a luncheon, and enjoy it at the light-house. 
Visit the ruins of Carthage, and return by train 
to Tunis. 

From Tunis by train to Bizerta and return, 
having 7 hours to visit the unique attractions of 
this Oriental city, with its remarkable canal and 
lake. Restaurant at the railway station. 

Landing at Genoa. 

If the steamer stops at Genoa before going on 
to Naples, one has time to get a very good general 
idea of the city. Electric cars at the head of the 
pier take one to the business centre, the Piazza 
Deferrari, from which car-lines lead to all impor- 
tant points. 

Carriage hire is only 1.50 lira (30 cents) an hour, 
with 15 centesimi (15 cents) for each succeeding 
hour, and a drive of three hours will be very satis- 
factory. Carriage with 2 horses costs 2 lire (40 
cents) an hour, with 1 lira (20 cents) for each 
succeeding half-hour. 

An electric car leaves from the Piazza Defer- 

90 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

rari for the Campo Santo, at Staglieno. Half an 
hour each way. Car-fares, 25 cent. (5 cents) 
each way. Visit this Campo Santo without fail. 
A cable tramway from the Piazza della Zecca 
takes the visitor to the Castellaccio Righi, where 
there is a superb view. Twenty minutes each 
way. Car-fares, 50 cent. (10 cents), round trip. 

Landing at Naples. 

Visitors landing at Naples find the customs 
examination at the pier, and will have no diffi- 
culty in passing this. The officials are courteous, 
and the porters zealous to help a stranger. 

The confusion and chatter is only a part of 
what makes up Neapolitan life, and, if under- 
stood, is most amusing. 

Follow the baggage closely, with the porters. 
Do not open it till an officer is ready to look at it. 
See that he marks it to pass the officer at the door. 

If one is going to a hotel, the porter of that 
hotel (with its name on his cap) will assist with 
the baggage, and will see it safely through the 
customs and pay all the necessary tips and fees. 
He will keep strict account of this, and may be 
entirely trusted. Settlement can be made with 
him later. 

If one is going to a pension, it is only necessary 

91 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

to write to such an address in advance, and upon 
request a man will be sent to the pier, with the 
house name on his cap, and he will render careful 
and honest service. 

If a carriage is taken instead of a hotel omni- 
bus, allow the proprietor of the pension (or the 
man whom he has sent) to pay for it. A trunk 
may be taken on the front of the carriage. Do 
not leave any baggage at the pier to be sent for 
later. This is important to remember. 

Electric cars at the entrance to the pier (going 
toward the right) take one to the Museum, with 
its art treasures and all the wealth of its collec- 
tions from Pompeii and Herculaneum. 

Going to the left, the visitor reaches theGalleria 
Humberto and Palace, and, continuing on along 
the same route, passes through Santa Lucia with 
its curious scenes, the Villa Nazionale, and on to 
the height Posilipo. These cars are marked in 
front as ours are, in the one instance " Museo" 
and in the other " Posilipo." There are sections 
in each car for 1st and 2d class passengers, and 
the 2d class will be found good. Fares are ar- 
ranged according to distance, and are cheap. In 
each instance a little ticket of receipt is given when 
the fare is paid, and occasionally an inspector 
comes through a car and asks to see it. 

The electric car service covers the city well. 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

The upper heights are reached by a funicular 
railway, as well as by the electric cars. 

Carriages are cheap, but a bargain must be 
made before starting for any considerable distance. 
A landau in the city costs for 1 day L. 20 ($4). 
It seats four persons comfortably. A Victoria in 
the city for one day, L. 15 ($3). A landau for 
a day in the country, L. 25 ($5). A Victoria for 
a day in the country, L. 20 ($4).

provided. On Sunday, admission free. 

Sicily. 

For the traveller who seeks something a little 
out of the ordinary path of the tourist there is 
the enchanting Island of Sicily, so full of history 
and the stories of mythology, in the days 

"When the heavens were nearer to us, 
And the gods were more familiar." 

Each night of the week a steamer leaves 
Naples for Palermo, which is a better way to go 
than by Messina. Steamers sail from the Im- 
macolatella Nuova at 7.25 p.m., and arrive at 
Palermo early the next morning. Tickets, 1st 
class, L. 34.25 ($6.85). Meals are extra. A good 
dinner is served on board at 8 p.m., but it is wiser 
to have dinner on shore, and to see that it is a 
simple one. 

If tickets are purchased through Thomas Cook 

95 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

& Son, Naples, for a round-trip journey in Sicily, 
state-rooms will be engaged and reserved by them. 
At least two days should be allowed for securing 
desirable accommodations, as the steamers are 
always full. 

Porters come on board the steamer at Palermo, 
and take the baggage to the pier, where there is a 
customs examination. 

Hotel omnibuses and carriages are at hand for 
the accommodation of visitors. Electric tram 
cars at the head of the pier may be used by those 
who have only hand-baggage. 

In two days one may gain a good idea of Palermo, 
enjoy the attraction of its gardens, promenades 
by the sea, and the pretty shops, and may make a 
trip of half a day to Monreale, to visit the splen- 
did church and cloisters. The electric tram car 
starts from the Piazza Bologni, and reaches Mon- 
reale in 35 minutes. Car-fares : Palermo to Mon- 
reale, 50 cent. (10 cents); Monreale to Palermo, 
40 cent. (8 cents). At Rocca the tramway car is 
placed in front of an electric engine, and pushed 
up the hill. 

Trips in Sicily. 

Palermo to Messina, Giardini, Taormina, 
Catania, Syracuse, Palermo. Tickets: 1st class, 
L. 75.85 ($15.17); 2d class, L. 53.15 ($10.63).

EUROPEAN GUIDE 

The railway ride from Palermo to Messina 
is most beautiful. On the right are mountains 
whose spurs are crowned with towns and ruined 
castles. The lower slopes are covered with groves 
of lemons, oranges, and olives. On the left is the 
wide stretch of the sea with a far view of the 
Lipari Islands. 

From Messina it is a short railway ride to 
Giardini, where a carriage is taken for a drive 
over the magical road to Taormina. This town 
lies along a spur in the mountains. Towering 
heights rise above its ruined Greek Theatre. In 
the near distance ^Etna, "the great white 
mother," gleams against the blue sky, and the 
sea lies at its feet. 

The railway lies along by the sea to Catania, 
which is at the foot of iEtna, and built upon 
vast lava beds. 

Beyond is old Syracuse, with its wind-swept, level 
ruins of Greek, Saracen, and Roman occupa- 
tion. Thence inland, across Sicily and back to 
Palermo. 

A trip to Girgenti to visit its notable Greek 
ruins will cost in addition: 1st class, L. 15.40 
($3.08); 2d class, L. 10.80 ($2.16). 

There is a circular trip around the base of 
iEtna that is interesting. It may be taken on 
the way from Taormina to Catania by changing 

97 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

cars at Giarre. The cost of the trip from Giarre 
to Catania is: 1st class, L. 9.35 ($1.87); 2d class, 
L. 7.10 ($1.42). 

By leaving Giardini (Taormina) at 10.14 a.m., 
one arrives at Giarre at 10.42 a.m. The station 
for the " Circumetnea " railway, as it is called, 
is near the regular main line station, and the 
train leaves at 11.26 a.m. 

A stop is made at all the towns, and one gets a 
rare opportunity to see the whole mountain, its 
characteristics and what the eruptions have done. 
Catania is reached at 6.38 p.m. Leave the train 
at the station "Borgo Catania," where carriage 
may be taken to hotel. 

Dining-car Service in Sicily. 

There is now a regular dining-car on all the 
through trains in Sicily. When arranging to 
start from Palermo, Messina, Catania, Syracuse, 
or Girgenti, ask for trains that provide this ser- 
vice. Light breakfast is L. 1.25 (25 cents); 
luncheon, with wine included, L. 3 (60 cents); 
dinner, with wine included, L. 4 (80 cents.) 

At the railway station, Buffet Catania, the 
charge for a meal, table d'hote, with wine in- 
cluded, is L. 3.50 (70 cents). 

98 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

The best season for visiting Sicily is in the early 
spring and the early summer. The weather is 
then perfect. 

If one can remain a month or six weeks in the 
island, it is feasible to go in February. Upon 
cold days it will not be necessary to do any 
sight-seeing. When time is limited, every day 
and hour must be occupied, whatever the 
weather. 

There is excellent electric car service in Palermo 
and Catania. No driving is needed in Messina, 
to see it all. As there are no street-cars in Syra- 
cuse, and the distances to be covered in sight-seeing 
are very great, carriages should be engaged by 
the day. Two days will cover it well, but five 
days would be much more satisfactory. 



Landing at Trieste, 

Travellers arriving at Trieste, Austria, by the 
Mediterranean route of the Cunard line, may take 
finely appointed steamers of the Austrian Lloyd 
Line for an ideal trip along the coast of Dalmatia. 

The steamers leave Trieste on Thursdays at 8 a.m. ; Friday, 
12.15 a.m., at Spoleto; Friday, 7.45 a.m., at Ragusa; Friday, 
11.15 a.m., at Cattaro, one of the most beautiful spots in the 
world.

Night Travel. 

Avoid night travel as much as possible. Enjoy 
the varied scenes of each route by daylight. This 
does not apply to Spain, where there is little to 

115 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

miss between large places, and night trains are 
very comfortable. 

If it is necessary to go by night, extra expense 
for sleepers may be avoided by hiring a pillow at 
any station of departure. The charge will be 
1 shilling, 1 franc, or 1 lira, according to the 
country in which it is hired. This pillow is left 
in the car upon arrival at the destination. 

If there are three ladies in a family or party, 
a "Berliner" may be engaged through the offi- 
cials of the International Sleeping Car Company. 
This provides comfortable accommodation for 
just this number of persons. 

The International Sleeping Car Company has 
offices in all the principal cities and resorts of 
Europe and the British Isles. As excellent and 
careful service is given, as upon our own Pullman 
trains. 

The price for a sleeper is, of course, a supple- 
mentary one, as on our railways. It is not ex- 
cessive. 

On all the trains going over long distances there 
are dining and restaurant cars where satisfactory 
meals are served. Passengers in the second- 
class cars may enjoy the advantage of this service. 

The usual price for breakfast of tea, coffee, or 
chocolate, with bread and butter, is from 20 to 
40 cents, according to the country through which 

116 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

the travel is made. Luncheon, from 62 cents to 
$1. Dinner, from 87 cents to $1.50. Wines are 
extra. 

This International Company has an organized 
system of what is called "travel de luxe" for 
which there is an extra charge over and above 
the regular first-class fare. The trains are vesti- 
buled, made up of saloon, dining, and sleeping 
cars. 

As an example of the expense of travel by these 
trains : — the regular ticket from London to Berlin 
is— via Calais— £5 17 s. ($29.25). The sup- 
plementary cost for the train de luxe is <£1 8s. 6d. 
($7.12). This sum insures rapid travel and all 
possible comfort en route. 

Various Forms of Railway Tickets. 

The growing demand for reasonable and con- 
venient transportation by rail is met in the several 
countries, as in our own, with a variety of special 
tickets. With a little care an up-to-date Amer- 
ican can take advantage of these, and save a deal 
of money. 

Circular Tickets. 

The circular ticket is simple, satisfactory, and 
reasonable in price. The expense is greatly re- 

117 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

duced through this form of ticket, so much so 
that one can afford to leave a portion of it unused, 
and still make a saving on the railway expense. 

For instance, one might take a circular ticket 
from London, through Belgium, Germany, Switz- 
erland, and to France. Arriving at Paris, a ship 
might be taken from Havre or Boulogne-sur- 
mer, leaving the ticket unused back to London. 
And even with this part unused there is a material 
saving. 

If, in addition to the circular ticket, one can get 
along with hand-baggage only, a journey may be 
made at little cost. 

The tickets are carefully arranged, and there 
is no difficulty in understanding how to use them. 

French Railway Tickets. 

The cost for regular fares in France is at the 
rate of about three and three-fifths of a cent a 
mile, in our money, for first-class cars, and two and 
two-fifths of a cent a mile for second-class. 

Through the purchase of a mileage book, 
which is called a "kilometer" book, the cost is 
reduced to about one and three-fifths of a cent 
a mile for first class, and one and one-tenth of a 
cent for second class. 

If some 600 miles are to be covered, the cost is 

118 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

reduced to only a cent a mile for second class 
and a fraction more for first class. 

These books are sold for desired distances, and 
are available for certain periods of time. They 
may be used on all the main lines of railway in 
France. 

To illustrate: For a book available to travel 
187 miles, — the shortest distance that these books 
cover, — and good for 30 days, the cost is: 1st 
class, F. 27 ($5.40); 2d class, F. 19 ($3.80). A 
regular ticket for this distance would cost, 1st 
class, F. 33.60 ($6.72). 

The regular fare for a distance of some 625 
miles would be $22.40, but by getting a kilo- 
meter book the cost is: 1st class, $16.20; 2d 
class, $12. The book is good for 30 days. 

As distances increase, the price decreases; and 
for a book good to be used 60 days, and to cover 
about 3,000 miles, the cost is only $50 against 
the regular first-class fare of $112. 

Sectional Tickets. 

France divides her railways into seven divi- 
sions, and these divisions are arranged in sections 
for special travel by sectional tickets. 

These tickets are sold for a fixed sum, and on 
them one may travel all day, and every day, in 

119 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

any part of the district that has been selected, 
during the whole of a fixed time. 

For instance, one might decide to travel in 
Touraine and all along down through France 
towards Avignon or Nimes. By taking a sec- 
tional ticket, it would be possible to travel con- 
stantly for 15 days: for 1st class, F. 68 ($13.60); 
2d class, F. 46 ($9.20). The time may be ex- 
tended to 30 days for the travel : tickets, 1st class, 
F. 102 ($20.40); 2d class, F. 69 ($13.80). 

Another arrangement is that persons may travel 
about 185 miles free, to reach a desired division 
to begin this sectional travel. For instance, one 
could travel from Paris to Belfort free if one of 
these sectional tickets was to be used in that in- 
teresting division of France. 

A Permit. 

All over the seven divisions of the French rail- 
ways there is an arrangement for second and third 
class travel that is admirable. Persons may buy 
a "Permit" that allows them to purchase second 
and third class railway tickets for half the regu- 
lar fare during a period of 3 months. 

A "Permit" costing F. 95 ($19) is good for 3 
months. During this period, tickets may be pur- 
chased over one or all seven of the divisions of 



120 






EUROPEAN GUIDE 

railways at half the regular price for fares. These 
tickets are not transferable. 



Belgium Railway Tickets. 

The railways in Belgium cover the entire coun- 
try with 2,500 miles of track. There is an 
admirable system for reducing fares on these 
lines. 

A ticket is issued costing, 1st class, F. 30.75 
($6.15), and 2d class, F. 20.50 ($4.10), which is 
good for constant use in every direction over Bel- 
gium for 5 days. 

Tickets, 1st class, F. 61.50 ($12.30), and 2d 
class, F. 41 ($8.20), are good for constant travel 
all over Belgium for 15 days. 

These tickets must bear a small photograph 
of the holder, which guards against any transfer. 
The photographs are easily obtained in any city 
or town, and there is a perfect understanding of 
the size required, as the people use them con- 
stantly. They must be printed on paper 2j 
inches long by If inches wide. 

Application for these tickets must be made a 
few days in advance of the time for which they 
are required. When the ticket is issued, there is 
a supplementary charge demanded of F. 5 ($1). 
Not later than the day after the ticket expires, it 

121 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

must be returned through some station on the 
Belgian railways. 

If this is not done, the $1 that has been paid 
is held by the railway. If the condition is ful- 
filled, the $1 is refunded at the station where the 
ticket is returned. 

These tickets are sold in London at the office 
of the company, 12a Regent Street, and at the 
ticket office of the Liverpool Street Station. 

Railway time in Belgium is counted from 1 to 
24 o'clock. 24 o'clock is midnight. 

Holland Railway Tickets. 

Holland has railway tickets available for use 
over all lines of the Railway Company and good 
for 30 days. The prices are: 1st class, G. 62.50 
($25); 2d class, G. 41.65 ($16.66). 

Application for these tickets must be made 8 
days in advance of the time the journey is to 
begin. An unmounted photograph, 2 J inches 
long by If wide, must be presented when ticket 
is applied for. 

A deposit of 85. 4d. ($2.08) must be paid at 
time of issue of the ticket. This sum will be re- 
funded within 8 days after the ticket expires. 

The Continental Traffic Manager, Liverpool 
Street Station, London, E.C., will give full in- 

122 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

formation about ordering these tickets. They 
are for sale at the Central Station, Amsterdam, 
at the three stations in Rotterdam, and at the 
station of the Hook of Holland. 

There is another ticket, 1st class, G. 2 ($0.80), 
2d class, G. 1.50 ($0.60), that allows one to travel 
from Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam, Gouda, 
or Utrecht, to any one of 20 cities and towns 
or from one of these places back to any one of the 
above-mentioned cities. No stop-over privilege 
is allowed. 

Six persons for first-class travel, or eight persons 
for second-class, may purchase tickets at half-price 
for a single journey. For a round-trip these per- 
sons need only pay the price of one single fare each. 

In summer cheap tickets are sold over direct 
routes, good for one day only and with no stop- 
over privileges. Tickets, 1st class, G. 4 ($1.60), 
2d class, G. 3 ($1.20), permit one to travel from 
any one station on a line to another station, no 
matter how great the distance. 

German Railway Tickets. 

Germany has railways on State systems, and in 
each of these there are good arrangements for 
cheap travel. 

The Baden State Railway sells kilometer 

123 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

coupon books that are good for one year. For a 
book that will cover 1,000 kilometers the price is: 
1st class, M. 60 ($15); 2d class, M. 40 ($10). 

For a book that will cover 500 kilometers there 
is a rate for third class, which provides good cars 
and service, cost M. 12.50 ($3.12). These tickets 
are sold at all important stations on the Baden 
State Railway. 

For the entire German Empire there are kilo- 
meter books at a price a third less than regular 
rates. 

Switzerland Railway Tickets. 

In Switzerland there are season tickets at a 
reasonable rate, good for certain periods of time. 
There is a ticket, 1st class, F. 77.15 ($15.43), 
2d class, F. 56.55 ($11.31), good for 15 days. On 
this ticket one may travel constantly in every 
direction, using all trains, except specials, and 
the steamers on the Swiss lakes. 

There is another ticket that offers this advantage 
of constant travel: 1st class, F. 118.30 ($23.66); 
2d class, F. 94.75 ($18.95),— good for 30 days. 

The second-class tickets are good for first-class 
deck and cabin accommodation on the lake 
steamers. 

With the application for these tickets there 

124 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

must be sent the small unmounted photograph, 
2| inches long by If inches wide. If applying for 
tickets in a large city, allow half a day for de- 
livery. In small places allow a whole day. 

The Swiss railways also sell coupon books that 
cost only F. 2.60 ($0.52) for one hundred coupons. 
These are torn out by the railway officials, as our 
mileage coupons are, according to distance. 

For the several Swiss lakes there are special 
coupon books that can be used by a group of 
persons. On Lake Geneva such a book costs, 
1st class, F. 20 ($4), and 2d class, F. 10 ($2), 
available for all points on the lake. On Lake 
Thun a book costs F. 2.50 ($0.50); on the Lake 
of the Four Cantons a book costs F. 12.50 ($2.50) ; 
and on Lake Zurich it costs F. 5 ($1). The cou- 
pons are good for all points on the lakes. 

Italian Railway Tickets. 

Circular tickets are sold in Italy and Sicily. 
There are also special division tickets, as in 
France. For 30 days one may travel constantly 
over the Italian railways: tickets, 1st class, L. 300 
($60); 2d class, L. 210 ($42). For 60 days one 
may enjoy constant travel over all parts of Italy: 
tickets, 1st class, L. 475 ($95); 2d class, L. 330 



125 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

A ticket covering all the railways of Sicily, and 
available for constant travel for 15 days, costs: 
1st class, L. 75 ($15); 2d class, L. 55 ($11). 

A ticket offering the same advantages for 30 
days costs: 1st class, L. 100 ($20); 2d class, L. 
80 ($16). 

All railway time tables in Italy are arranged 
with hours from 1 to 24 o'clock, 24 o'clock being 
midnight. 

Spanish Railway Tickets. 

In addition to circular tickets for travel in 
Spain, there are kilometer tickets that offer very 
reasonable rates. These tickets are good on all 
the railways of the country. 

For 3,000 kilometers or more the tickets are 
good for seven persons of the same family or 
three persons of the same firm. 

Tickets covering 3,000 kilometers cost $44, 
and are good for 4 months. 

Spanish railways' time tables use the same sys- 
tem as in Italy, running from 1 to 24 o'clock. 

Where to get Tickets. 

If one is unfamiliar with the railway customs 
and regulations in the various countries, it is well 
to buy regular or circular tickets at the office of 

126 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Thomas Cook & Son or through the American 
Express Company in the large cities of Europe. 

These companies are official agents for all 
steamship and railway lines, and are in a position 
to provide whatever is required at the regular 
rates. This is particularly true of Thomas Cook 
& Son, who have at all the railway stations in 
large cities and at each landing point for steam- 
ships men in the company uniform, to render 
assistance to travellers. 

At many points the American Express Com- 
pany has men in uniform to assist their patrons. 

In each city there are many offices where tickets 
are for sale and where special inducements are 
offered the traveller; but, unless such offices have 
some official standing, they should be avoided by 
strangers. 

It is, of course, always safe to buy tickets at 
the railway stations; but the hours when the 
offices are open are limited, the ticket sellers 
rarely understand English, and it is difficult to 
make them clearly comprehend what is desired 
in the way of transportation. 

Even with agents of such experience as those 
of Thomas Cook & Son, one should have a good 
idea as to the route to be taken. They will then 
help with full details as to the best arrangement 
of this route. 

127 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

When tickets are purchased, they must be care- 
fully looked over and thoroughly understood be- 
fore leaving the office. A small error in a ticket 
will often cause the greatest inconvenience. 

Certain rules apply in regard to dating and 
stamping tickets and the stop-over privileges. 
On the Cook tickets their rules are all set forth 
plainly in English. 

Through the Cook offices it is always possible 
to arrange in advance for the reserving of certain 
seats in cars or of whole cars, if necessary. Sleep- 
ing-cars for travel all over Europe can be engaged 
through them for the person who wishes to make 
careful and close connections. 

All tickets of a special or sectional form must 
be obtained at the offices of railway officials, 
either in the several city offices or at the railway 
stations. As these tickets are used by the travel- 
ling public in each country, the tourist agencies 
do not sell them. 

How Tickets are Handled. 

In England the railway tickets are collected on 
the trains. 

All over the Continent the tickets are given up 
or punched for a stop-over at the gate through 
which one leaves the station. 

128 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Before a train starts, the conductor, both in 
England and on the Continent, goes to each car 
and looks at or punches the tickets held by the 
passengers. There is thus little danger of start- 
ing on the wrong train. 

When leaving stations in many European coun- 
tries, it is necessary to have tickets punched at a 
gate, as one passes to the train. Very often pas- 
sengers are not allowed to go to the platform till 
the train is ready for them. 

Learn to read Time Tables. 

All travellers should learn to read time tables. 
These are sold at all stations; for they are not 
free, as with us. By being familiar with time 
tables, there is the satisfaction of being informed 
as to stops, where the frontiers are, and if the 
train is on time. 

Here, again, Thomas Cook & Son offer valuable 
aid to the traveller. For the sum of 25 cents they 
sell a "Comprehensive Continental Time Table 
and Tourists' Handbook," giving all trains and 
steamers ordinarily used, and this publication is 
kept well revised.

Chapter VI. 
WHAT TO SEE. 

It is well, on arriving at a city, to ask the hotel 
porter to inform you what permits are neces- 
sary in sight-seeing. For instance, by apply- 
ing for permits to the right authorities one may 
see the sewers and catacombs of Paris and part 
of the Conciergerie in which Marie Antoinette 
was confined. In London permits will open 
special rooms in the London Tower, also will 
allow one to visit the Royal Stables, the Man- 
sion House, etc.

EUROPEAN GUIDE 

For general detail, in brief form, the Satchel 
Guide is excellent, and it is kept carefully revised. 

Thomas Cook & Son have a complete list of 
good Guide Books that are cheaper than the 
Baedeker books. 

For Ireland, Scotland, and the English Lakes, 
Black's Guide Books are satisfactory. Murray's 
"In Ireland" is also good. 

The Murray and O'Shea Guide Books are good 
for Spain. 

Murray and Macmillan have carefully revised 
books for the Mediterranean. 

The Index Guide is admirable for general use 
and for its aid in the Galleries. Special atten- 
tion is given to Art. 

*^ " Hare's Walks " and Hare's books upon travel 
listed in the following list are a treasure-house 
of information as to historical, archaeological, and 
antiquarian points of interest, and, what is as im- 
portant, they are interesting reading. The David 
* McKay edition of Hare is less expensive than 
the Macmillan edition, and the binding is more 
attractive. 

The above books give brief outlines on Art and 
Architecture. Individual taste and knowledge 
will help the traveller in selecting from the follow- 
ing carefully prepared list of books those needed 
for preparation.

Chapter IX. 
FINAL SUGGESTIONS. 

Local Guides. 

A local guide is often of the greatest service 
in the large cities. Much time is saved by having 
some one who understands how to get about 
quickly and who can point out the important 
things to be seen. At any hotel good guides will 
be furnished upon application. Thomas Cook 
& Son make a specialty of this service, and their 
men may be engaged by the day or the week. 
Prices depend upon the class of service required, 
and range from $2 to $3 a day. Couriers to 
travel and take full charge of all details of a 
journey may be engaged through Thomas Cook 
& Son. 

Arrange to use a Cable Code, if needed for im- 
portant matters. There are many good Code 
Books. The "Adams" is especially practical. 
The Western Union Company has an Inter- 
national Code Book that will be found in all the 
chief international business offices of Europe. 
A private code may be made, and in this event 
take duplicate copies, and keep them in two 
separate places, as a cable message by a private 
code is useless without the key by which to read it. 

177 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Money may be cabled to Europe through the 
American Express Company at reasonable rates. 
In addition to the cost of the message, the rates 
are in this proportion : — 

$100 and under $0.50 

Over 100 to $200 1.25 

200 " 300 1.50 

300 " 400 1.75 

400 " 500 4.00 

Identification will be waived if requested by 
sender. Money will be delivered at hotel or 
pensions, as directed, or it will be held for de- 
livery at the company office. Give careful in- 
structions as to this matter of delivery.

Thermometers. 

Germany, Austro-Hungary, and Russia, and 
those cantons of Switzerland along the German 
frontier use the Reaumur Thermometer. The 
other cantons of Switzerland, Italy, France, 
Spain, Portugal, and Greece use the Centigrade. 
In England and in Holland the Fahrenheit is 
used. 

The Return Voyage. 

Having made one trip across the ocean, all 
details relative to the return voyage are well 
understood. The two important things to at- 
tend to at once are the engaging of seats at table 
and reserving the hour for the baths. 

The customs officers come on board in the 
harbor at whatever point of landing. They go 
at once to the dining saloon, and passengers 
form in lines, and await their turn to make the 
declaration in regard to what they have as to 
baggage, and sign and swear to this declaration. 

180 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Remember that the United States government 
does not demand a minute statement as to small 
private purchases. For instance, there is a duty 
on gloves, to protect merchants who buy gloves 
abroad and pay duties on them. These mer- 
chants keep these gloves for the accommodation 
of their patrons. 

It would not be just to allow individuals to 
bring into the country an unlimited number of 
these gloves, but there is nothing to prevent each 
person having a reasonable supply. 

So, when the question as to gloves is asked, it 
is not merely, " Have you any gloves ?" but it is, 
"Have you any gloves upon which you should 
pay a duty ?" 

If there is any feeling of uncertainty about the 
matter of duty, the officer who is asking the ques- 
tions will explain if so requested. 

Each person is allowed to bring into the United 
States personal wearing apparel to the value of 
$100, and this must be remembered in making 
the declaration. It should be understood that, 
if the declaration specifies any stated amount as 
dutiable, the goods to equal this amount must be 
shown to the official. 

Having signed the declaration, a card with a num- 
ber is handed to the passenger. This number 
corresponds with the number on the paper signed. 

181 



EUROPEAN GUIDE 

Having landed at the pier, after the stewards 
have brought the baggage from the ship, get it 
all together. Then join the line to wait for a turn 
to get an officer to examine it. 

Upon reaching the desk and handing the num- 
bered card to the officer in charge, the paper 
signed on the ship is handed to an officer stand- 
ing in line, and he is ready to look at the baggage. 
Open it freely, and, as he compares the signed 
paper with what he finds, be ready to help him, 
and explain anything he asks about. 

If, by chance, there should be something not 
declared, about which this officer does not feel 
quite satisfied, it is taken to a chief inspector, 
who passes upon it. 

If he says duties should be paid, remember he 
is a government official and in authority. He 
will be courteous and reasonable, and the goods 
will be held safely till they can be sent for, if it 
is not convenient to pay the duties at once. 

The officers are in a trying position. They 
have a duty to perform, and must carefully watch 
for due returns to the government. A cheerful 
recognition of this will make their duty light. 

The baggage having been examined and 
marked, express agents are at hand to forward 
it to any part of the United States, or carriages 
may be engaged for any station or hotel.
